Walsall Council hiring for management role as part of £10m shake-up
Walsall Council is advertising for a programme manager to help oversee plans for a £10 million shake-up of the authority.
The £44,190-to-£49,448 annual role will involve working to develop the 'Walsall Proud Programme' (WPP), which would see the Conservative-led council spend up to £10.7m on transforming the way the authority works.
Council leader Mike Bird has previously confirmed there will be job losses as part of the programme.
The programme aims to "achieve better outcomes and customer experience, increase staff satisfaction and engagement, and improve service efficiency and performance".
Implementing WPP could cost up to £26.1m over several years but the authority says that for every one-off £1 spent, it will make recurring savings of £3.
The closing date for application for the programme manager role is January 5.
